The course is dedicated to give participants awareness and understanding of strategic perspectives and unique challenges faced by organizations within the wine industry in regards to luxury and premium brand positioning.

Luxury and premium brands have experienced remarkable growth and success in the last thirty years. The strong aspiration power and dream factors of luxury brands constitute nowadays an example of what many mass market brands would like to develop to differentiate and create strong customer loyalty.

At the same time, globalization and development of new emerging countries have also been very beneficial to luxury brands. All markets have demonstrated strong interest for luxury goods and services. In many countries local managers would like to understand the foundations of luxury brand management in order to possibly develop local premium or high end/luxury brands.

For all these reasons, this class will concentrate on the foundations of premium/luxury brand management and the art of luxury branding. It will analyse and explain how companies can create and grow luxury brands and then leverage on brand equity to create value and significant return on investment for their shareholders through proper brand management.

On successful completion of this course, students will be able to:

1. DESCRIBE what Luxury Marketing (LM) is and how LM is transforming the world of wine business
2. EVALUATE the role played by LM especially in brand management
